- video and animated screenings about chess.
- demonstrations of short games – to learn about pieces and how to move each piece.

Players are regularly accompanied at national and international tournaments and championships, benefiting from: preparation and analyses of games, moral support from their coaches, monitoring and logistical support.
JUNIORS
Chess develops mental skills of children which are helpful throughout life: concentration, memory, critical thinking, abstract rationing, problem solving, strategic planning, creativity, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation are just a few examples.
During chess games, children learn to develop creative solutions and how to implement a plan of action, because each move requires analysing and evaluating yours and your opponent’s position in order to devise a winning strategy.
Given the benefits that chess can have for children, our Club aims to develop several partnerships with the public and private schools of Canton Vaud.
